          This task sets a property to the name of a temporary file.
          Unlike <code>java.io.File.createTempFile</code>,
          this task does not actually create the temporary file, but it does guarantee that the
          file did not exist when the task was executed.

          <p>Examples:

          <pre>&lt;tempfile property="temp.file"/&gt;</pre>

          create a temporary file

          <pre>&lt;tempfile property="temp.file" suffix=".xml"/&gt;</pre>

          create a temporary file with the <code>.xml</code> suffix

          <pre>&lt;tempfile property="temp.file" destDir="build"/&gt;</pre>

          create a temporary file in the <code>build</code> subdirectory
